Section title

This starts a paragraph mode. You can write as much as you want and it will be automatically
wrapped. Or, you
can enter line feeds as often as you want. The paragraph mode is turned off when
a blank line is found.

To put something in bold you enter a { followed by bf: and then the word or phrase
that you want bold. Add a } to turn off bold. For italics, replace bf with it.

Fancier paragraphs

The full syntax of the paragraph command is a { followed by a p followed by three numbers and then ended
with a }. #1: How much to indent the first line. #2: How much to indent the second and later lines.
#3: How much to bring in the right margin on all lines. #4: The total width of the entire paragraph. For
example, with the numbers 10 5 10 20, I get:

This is an example of what happens if you specify that you want to indent the first line 10 characters;
the second and later 5 characters; you want the right margin reduced 10 characters; and you want
the entire paragraph to be 20 columns.
